For the Delegation of the European Communities in Nigeria, we initiated an energy dialogue between Europe and Nigeria in advance of the launch of the 10th European Development Fund. During two months a team investigated the energy situation in Nigeria, including visits to various States and energy sites, and interviewed many representatives of Government, energy companies, NGOs and industrial consumers. We developed around 14 recommendations of interventions, initiatives and actions the EC could adopt to develop the energy situation in Nigeria, in Europe’s interest.
